Christmas shopping just got a whole lot more magical. This holiday season, Play Nation is turning Singapore and Malaysia into a festive wonderland filled with character pop-ups, collectible drops and heart-melting gift ideas that are perfect for sharing a little joy.
Featuring beloved favourites from Sanrio, San-X, Care Bears, LINE Friends and more, this is Play Nation’s biggest year-end celebration yet and it’s packed with tons of cutesy feel-good surprises!
The festive takeover officially kicks off with Care Bears spreading warmth and cheer at Marina Square from 22 November. The exclusive Care Bears Wishes From The Heart Pop-Up Store is a dream stop for fans and gift-hunters alike, offering limited-edition merchandise, bundle deals and hands-on experiences that make Christmas shopping extra meaningful.
Highlights include the ultra-soft Furry Laptop Sleeve at S$39.90, designed to bring comfort wherever you go, and the Plush Phone Clip at S$19.90, now returning with a brand-new Good Luck Bear design to add a sprinkle of positivity to everyday life. You can also personalise your very own keepsakes at two Pick & Mix Bars, creating canvas straps with themed patches or tumblers dressed up with matching accessories.
The festive fun doesn’t stop there. You can look forward to live Care Bears meet-and-greets, balloon giveaways on launch day and every Friday to Sunday while stocks last, along with surprise treats, gifts-with-purchase and bundle deals throughout the season until 4 January.
Ready-made gift bundles featuring everyone’s favourite bears are also available at S$50, S$80 and S$100, making last-minute gifting a breeze. With tiered gifts like holographic bags and sticker packs available with minimum spends, it’s a pop-up that truly rewards the spirit of giving!
Across Singapore, Play Nation’s new Play Market stores at FairPrice Xtra Ang Mo Kio Hub, JEM, Jurong Point, NEX and VivoCity continue the festive cheer with cheerful character displays and playful photo spots.
Coming in December is the magical “Make A Wish” wall, where shoppers can grab a wish card, colour it in, write their holiday wish and add it to the interactive display. To sweeten the season even more, Play Nation is giving away a special holiday treat to five lucky winners through a digital lucky draw.
